Eric, I wouldn't put too much trust in polls. In 2012, polls predicted a closer race between Romney and Obama. The actual results showed a relative blowout. In 2016, polls predicted a Hillary win. Turned out to be an upset by Trump. In 2020, polls predicted Brandon to win by a comfortable margin. Turned out that Trump came closer than expected. I personally think the polls consistently underestimate how much support Trump has. I think, if the election were held right now, Trump would win by a substantial margin. Of course, a lot can happen between now and next November, like Trump getting convicted and being thrown into jail. But I don't really anticipate any positive surprises that will benefit Brandon. Even now, inflation is nominally at 3-4%, but that's not helping Brandon's poll numbers at all. Tenchusatsu
